The Eagle Feather and the Native Drum

This lesson takes us through the need for unity as a body in Christ, with a focus on native communities. The role of the Church in the oppression and brokenness of Native American peoples is examined. We also explore how to enter into reconciliation while being mindful of historical contexts for fragmentation and dissonance.
